TITLE: "Distal mediator-enriched placental transcriptome-wide association studies reveal genetic mechanisms supporting the  Developmental Origins of Health and Disease." ABSTRACT: As the master regulator of the intrauterine environment, the placenta is […]

TITLE: "Clipper: p-value-free FDR control on high-throughput data from two conditions." ABSTRACT: High-throughput biological data analysis commonly involves identifying "interesting" features (e.g., genes, genomic regions, and proteins), whose values differ […]

TITLE: "Critical slowing down signals quasi-species extinction in an evolutionary model with environmental heterogeneity." ABSTRACT: Environmental heterogeneity can significantly affect the evolutionary dynamics of a population. A key parameter that […]

TITLE: "Integrating metabolomics and fluxomics to study cancer metabolism in low glucose environments." ABSTRACT: Metabolomics and fluxomics are integral tools for quantitative metabolic analysis. By combining mass spectrometry, isotope tracing, and […]

TITLE:“Longitudinal phenotyping of Severe Mental Illness from Electronic Health Records.” ABSTRACT:Electronic Health Records (EHRs) offer an exciting avenue for large-scale genetic studies of psychiatric disorders in globally diverse populations. As a potential source of inexpensive and longitudinal phenotypes, they are key for the study of severe mental illness trajectories. The Clinica San Juan de Dios […]

TITLE: "Population structure inference for biobank-scale data." ABSTRACT: Inferring the structure of human populations from genetic variation data is a key task in population and medical genomic studies. While a number of methods for population structure inference have been proposed, current methods are impractical to run on biobank-scale genomic datasets containing millions of individuals and […]
